From that date, LNG terminals, shipping companies, engineering firms and suppliers of measuring equipment can once again have their flow meters calibrated with traceable measurements.
VSL now operates a fully autonomous on-wafer measurement system, a major milestone for chip calibrations.
The NL R&D Workgroup Mechatronics and the National Metrology Institute organize a special morning session in Delft. During this open event you can meet experts from industry and research working in the field of (opto-) mechatronics.
During the project meeting, the central topic was how Digital‑Metrological Twins can contribute to reliable and traceable measurements in advanced manufacturing environments.
With this addition, VSL aims to meet the growing demand for reliable and traceable vacuum measurements within the Netherlands and abroad.
Given its higher volumetric energy density compared to hydrogen, ammonia is expected to play a significant role in long-term energy storage. To ensure a safe and fair rollout of ammonia as an energy carrier, it is essential to establish infrastructure for measuring quantity, quality, and emissions.
This project focuses on developing faster methods for hydrogen flow calibrations (using master meters), combining flow calibrations with sampling for quality measurements, creating test protocols for gas composition sensors, and investigating potential new impurities.
VSL Achieves Accreditation for LED Light Flicker Measurements under European Ecodesign Directives. The National Metrology Institute is now among the first institutes worldwide capable of calibrating and validating light sources against European ecodesign requirements for flicker.
